The Bride Shelby Skidmore, 25, a professional dance choreographer, teacher and performer The Groom Daniel Kelly, 25, a fourth-year medical student The Date April 23 Above all, Shelby and Daniel wanted their wedding to feel warm and inviting. They pulled it off by using a cozy color palette of reds, oranges, and neutrals, and incorporating a homey collection of family furniture and heirlooms.

Chalkboard signs hung above the reception food stations, pointing out what was being served.
These retro-style peep-toe heels were Shelby's something blue.
Small vases filled with multicolored roses added brightness to the sign-in table.
Guests watched the ceremony from a mix of chairs and benches (some collected from the families).
Mixing burlap, lace and vintage china with different chairs created a warm and welcoming reception style.
To make sure that no one got bored, the cocktail hour was packed with interactive activities like a typewriter guest book station.
Garden Rose Boutonniere
The guys jazzed up their gray suits with superhero socks--a gift from Daniel.
Shelby loved the soft, full look of the garden roses and the texture of the dahlias in her bouquet.
Shelby asked her maids to pick from several solid styles and one patterned dress for an eclectic and overall vintage look.
Best Day Ever became a theme of the day, making appearances on signs and stationery.
The first thing guests saw as they entered the ceremony space was a hanging stained-glass window and an antique cabinet that held the sign-in book.
The couple wanted to serve cakes that looked like they came straight out of the oven, so they made sure the frosting was a little messy.
The guys all worse different flowers (such as ranunculus, dusty miller and garden roses) in their boutonnieres.
